imagine having a level of faith in the government or markets that can even be undermined.
who are these rubes? can i get a mailing list that I can spam with offers?
I'm sure they will be punished to the fullest extent of the la...ha ha had you there, didn't I? Nancy Pelosi did insider trading for decades and nobody gave a shit.
I mean some people did. Her husband got attacked with a hammer.
lol, but what was that chud's motive though? Was he really upset over her blatant criminal corruption or that he was Q-Pilled and believed she was a baby eater from the cabal?
Fair. I don’t agree with his reasons but I love his methods.
I don't even get why this is news anymore
Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the markets.
What? If you have no insider information and your ability to retire is tied into the stock market because our retirement system is borked and you sell your stocks right around the time you hear a rumor that maybe Trump is about to do something that will cause everything to tank, why should you be punished?
I mean fuck anyone who's working for the executive branch or congress but if they didn't have access to insider information this just reads like an uncharacteristically sane sense of self-preservation.
why should you be punished?
because it’s still insider trading if you’re a government official and that ‘rumor’ is coming from the mouth of the secretary of state.
That just reads like "can't make it look too obvious or the rubes will catch on"
Expecting logic from the stock market was your first mistake
